    Na-t?

    With 180,000 miles on my odometer, is it safe considering a NA-T project? I'd like a bit more power, but I'm not sure if it'd be more worthwhile to swap an entire engine. The way I figure, it would be around 2k for a total 7m swap and around 3k for a 1jz. Has anyone turboed their NA and...

    What the hell?

    so i get a new (reman) rack and pinion from autozone, bring it to the shop and they tell me it's not the right one. the fittings for the hydraulic hardlines are in a different place and the two tie rod ends are about an inch and a half/two inches longer than the original. just a mistake or is...

    suspension recs?

    so my steering's gone out (fixed now), brakes are on their way out and suspension handles like mashed potatoes (complete with gravy, and not the instant kind)...anyway: instead of going all the way and buying coilovers, i was looking at the koni yellows with a set of eibach or intrax springs...

    Badge

    is the supra badge on the front nose supposed to have the 'supra' lettering in a kind of beige color outlined in chrome, or was it all supposed to be chrome and just faded/chipped over the years?

    usable parts

    so im thinking of swapping from n/a to t sometime soon, but in the meantime id like to start getting bpu's that will work with both engines. as far as i know, an apexi intake would make the crossover, but what about a blitz nur-spec exhaust? any other ups i should know about thatd work on...

    Engines?

    so my poor little 7mge is still kicking strong, but is leaking oil and is looking kinda tired with 180,000 on the odometer. Right now, I'm looking at my choices of either a 7mgte or a 1jzgte. of course a 2jz would be nice, but probably out of my range right now. anyone have any advice...

    rack and pinion help?

    so i took the supra to get it inspected today, they called and said i had a bad seal in the rack and pinion system and that they'd have to replace the whole setup, running around $900...what the hell? the mechanic said "oh, its kinda hard to see unless youve cut the wheels hard one way and are...

    Supra Zippos

    All right, now that we've all got our keychains let's start planning on something else that will once again "set us apart as the elite". In the keychain thread someone mentioned Zippos...any interest in this? I don't have near the resources nor know-how, so this thread is just general...

    Lighting Options

    ive been looking around for some other options for my lights. not necessarily going with eliminating the pop-up lights but more in the realm of hid. right now im running sealed beam silverstars, but i thought i saw a conversion kit on a website similar to kaze aerocraft's supra. i think...

    NA-T good idea?

    I've been thinking for a while now about doing a turbo engine swap into my 89 NA, but was wondering if i could (safely) turbo my NA and get the same (or a little less) performance as a 7mgte. Here's the deal, though. My 7mge has 177k mi on it, and I'm wondering if I'd blow something up...
